Recent studies reveal the potential harmful effects of excessive social media use, including exposure to harmful content, cyberbullying, online predators as well as contributing to negative body image, decreased attention span, and social isolation. We want to provide parents with the knowledge to help children and teenagers navigate these technology troubles and learn how to thrive in life online and in the real world.
